The University of Toledo defense had perhaps its best performance as a unit last week in a 48-17 win at Akron. Aside from a long touchdown on the opening play for the Zips, the Rockets defense held Akron in check for most of the game.
“I think we played really well against Akron,” senior defensive end John Stepec said.
“I think a big part of that was coming to practice and paying attention to the small details and playing as a unit. I think we did that really well, so I think we have to do the same thing this week and be focused and ready to play this game.
